The year is coming to and end, and December at Close to my Heart is always full of beautiful holiday projects. It really seems to me that the summer months flew by and now we at year end. How did this happen? I say I hate the cold weather, which is somewhat true. Truth is, I love to watch it snow, I just don’t want to drive in the snow.
We all love the holiday papers, cards, projects, etc. that Close to my Heart brings for December. I need to bring my camera out and start taking pictures again. What are your plans for December? Do you have any family traditions? Share them with us! What ever you do, I hope you are surrounded by family and friends and never forget to snap a photo or two!
